Somebody this stupid shouldn’t be president. Maybe some of those scientists that he fired or defunded can explain Arctic amplification to him.

We've let our advantages lapse: Canada's post-secondary system is structurally underfunded, our healthcare system is sliding slowly into two-tier privatisation, non-profit /affordable housing is hard to find or build, most regional/public transit is terrible, 97% of digital services are foreign.

Unicorn startups like Blackberry are hard to spark, but fundamental underlying conditions for innovation to thrive requires a highly educated and healthy workforce, affordable housing and transportation options, open and quality common carrier infrastructure and digital sovereignty. 4/

And when Canada does make big bets, providing billions in public support to private industry, we largely hand out cash to structurally declining/disrupted industries like oil & gas exports, which have an exceptionally low labour share of GDP. Incumbent industry has far too much policy influence. 3/

Canada is a country of small-minded oligopolies. Our major industries lack healthy competition (and needed competition enforcement). Banks, insurance, telecoms, utilities, media groceries, and on and on. Rent seeking - instead of innovation. 2/

Tackling Canada's lack of innovation or corporate investment is complex, but has almost nothing to do with fake claims of 'red tape' or regulation. 1/

Now take take out the 'Magnificent 7' tech companies in the US. Without them, the U.S. economy has seen worse stagnation than Canada's. This just doesn't tell the story you think it does.

Yep, a seriously wrong take here.

Sure, but we can expect around a $20 billion dollar write down - associated with any ‘sale’.

Because no one would buy it. The debt/servicing costs would be too high and the shippers are at the NEB fighting the (very low) proposed tolls. The federal government will need to write down the debt and ‘gift’ the project to any buyers. twnsacredtrust.ca/twn-applies-...

We think Canadian CSO delegations are all accounted for and safe, but the team is double checking to be certain.

Yes, all of which accrued to privately held, majority foreign owned corporations.

Selling out the climate, selling out Indigenous rights, harming your own citizens, at the behest of an extremist premier and an industry negotiating in bad faith - in exchange for increasing physical, economic risks and empty political posturing. That's a textbook #StupidBargain 30/end 🛑

Its highly unlikely such a bargain would move any votes. The Trudeau government rescued, purchased, and financed the entire #TMX pipeline project - only to face escalating relentless political attacks from industry. It's naive to assume otherwise. financialpost.com/commodities/... 29/

Nope. We've seen this movie before. Industry has been attacking federal climate policy in public, lobbying behind closed doors, and in board rooms for decades at this point. Ten seconds after the ink is dry on a #StupidBargain - they will return to their efforts to weaken/remove climate policy. /28

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, in league with oil company CEOs have relentlessly attacked the federal government over every single climate policy it has...

Maybe the Bargain would include a truce? Maybe agreements to abide by strengthened #climate policies?
